Abstract
[Problem] Provided is an image display device and an electronic device that can suppress the occurrence of diffracted light. [Solution] An image display device includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional array, wherein the plurality of pixels include at least some pixels, each having: a first self-emitting device, a first luminous region illuminated by the first self-emitting device, and a nonluminous region having a transmissive window that allows the passage of visible light.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An image display device comprising a plurality of pixels that are two-dimensionally arranged,
wherein the plurality of pixels include at least some pixels, each having: a first self-emitting device; a first luminous region illuminated by the first self-emitting device; and a nonluminous region having a transmissive window in a predetermined shape that allows passage of visible light.
2 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixels include at least two pixels including the nonluminous regions with the transmissive windows in different shapes.
3 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein in plan view from a display surface side of the image display device, the nonluminous region is disposed at a position overlapping a light receiver for receiving light passing through the image display device.
4 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein a pixel circuit connected to the first self-emitting device is disposed in the first luminous region.
5 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the nonluminous region has the plurality of transmissive windows spaced in one of the pixels.
6 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmissive window is disposed over at least two of the pixels.
7 . The image display device according to claim 6 , wherein the transmissive window disposed over the at least two of the pixels varies in shape and type.
8 . The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an optical member that is disposed on a light entry side of the transmissive window and refracts incident light so as to guide the light into the transmissive window.
9 . The image display device according to claim 8 , wherein the optical member comprises:
a first optical system that refracts incident light in a direction of an optical axis; and a second optical system that collimates the light refracted by the first optical system, wherein the transmissive window allows passage of the light collimated by the second optical system.
10 . The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first optical member that is disposed on a light entry side of the transmissive window and refracts incident light so as to guide the light into the transmissive window; and a second optical member that is disposed on a light emission side of the transmissive window and collimates light from the transmissive window so as to guide the light into a light receiver.
11 . The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
first pixel regions including some of the plurality of pixels; and second pixel regions including at least some of the plurality of pixels other than the pixels in the first pixel regions, wherein the pixel in the first pixel region includes the first self-emitting device, the first luminous region, and the nonluminous region, and the pixel in the second pixel region includes: a second self-emitting device; and a second luminous region that is illuminated by the second self-emitting device and has a larger area than the first luminous region.
12 . The image display device according to claim 11 , wherein the first pixel regions are spaced at a plurality of points in a pixel display region.
13 . The image display device according to claim 11 , wherein in the first pixel regions, at least two of the plurality of pixels are provided with the transmissive windows in different shapes such that diffracted light generated by light having passed through the transmissive windows has different shapes.
14 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first self-emitting device includes:

15 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first self-emitting device includes:
a lower electrode layer; a display layer disposed on the lower electrode layer; an upper electrode layer disposed on the display layer; and a wiring layer that is disposed under the lower electrode layer and is electrically connected to the lower electrode layer via a contact extending from the lower electrode layer in a stacking direction, and the shape of the transmissive window in plan view from a display surface side of the plurality of pixels is determined by ends of the wiring layer.
16 . The image display device according to claim 15 , wherein the wiring layer includes a plurality of stacked metallic layers, and
the shape of the transmissive window in plan view from the display surface side of the plurality of pixels is determined by ends of at least one of the plurality of metallic layers.
17 . The image display device according to claim 16 , wherein the metallic layer is an electrode of a capacitor in the pixel circuit, the metallic layer determining the shape of the transmissive window in plan view from the display surface side of the plurality of pixels.
18 . The image display device according to claim 14 , wherein the first luminous region is covered with the lower electrode layer except for a region of the transmissive window.
19 . An electronic device comprising: an image display device including a plurality of pixels that are two-dimensionally arranged, and
a light receiver that receives light passing through the image display device, wherein the image display device has first pixel regions including some of the plurality of pixels, the pixels in the first pixel regions each include: a first self-emitting device; a first luminous region illuminated by the first self-emitting device; and a nonluminous region having a transmissive window in a predetermined shape that allows the passage of visible light, and in plan view from a display surface side of the image display device, at least some of the first pixel regions are disposed so as to overlap the light receiver.
20 . The electronic device according to claim 19 , wherein the light receiver receives light through the nonluminous region.
21 . The electronic device according to claim 19 , wherein the light receiver includes at least one of an imaging sensor that performs photoelectric conversion on incident light passing through the nonluminous region, a distance measuring sensor that receives incident light passing through the nonluminous region and measures a distance, and a temperature sensor that measures a temperature on a basis of incident light passing through the nonluminous region.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
